    The human skull has numerous openings that enable cranial nerves and blood vessels to exit the skull and supply or receive various structures. These openings are collectively referred to as cranial foramina. In the cranial cavity, the floor is divided into three distinct recesses: the anterior fossa, middle fossa and the posterior fossa. Each cranial fossa lodges numerous named foramina, through which various anatomical structures pass through. Apart from these named foramina occasionally some accessory foramina may also be present. The aim of the study is to analyze the cranial foramina and vascular impression in the sagittal section of the skull. In the present study, a total of 24 sagittal sections of skull bones of unknown sex and without any gross abnormality were collected and subjected for morphometrical analysis. The external and internal surface of the skull bone are examined.. Read More»
